Kairos
30 €
The Kairos is a leather cardholder strap — a 43 cm by 0.8 cm full-grain cowhide lanyard finished with a metallic carabiner, designed to wear the Suki cardholders (Wind, Kiss, Amour, Sweety, Chinook) around the neck or across the body. Cut at the workshop on rue Labie from the same hide as the rest of the range — vegetable-tanned or upcycled leather (blue reference) depending on the version. The edges are painted. The carabiner clips onto the cardholder's ring without any tool. A direct, precise accessory: it turns a cardholder into a worn piece, without adding bulk.

THE GESTURE
The sheathed motifs, set one by one.
The Kairos is cut from the same hide as the cardholders it pairs with. The strap is pared with a race knife to hold its 0.8 cm width along the full length without excess thickness. The edges are dyed after cutting.
The metallic clasp is cold-set onto the strap. The 43 cm length corresponds to a collar fit for most builds. Made at the workshop on rue Labie, Paris 17e.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything about the Kairos.
Where is the Kairos made?+
The Kairos is entirely handmade in our Parisian atelier, at 6 rue Labie in the 17th arrondissement. From cutting to saddle stitching, every step takes place in Paris.
What leather do you use?+
We work exclusively with full-grain vegetable-tanned cowhide, sourced from European tanneries committed to responsible practices. This leather develops a unique patina that grows more beautiful with time and use.
How do I care for my Suki Paris leather piece?+
Day to day, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store the piece in its cotton pouch, away from sunlight. To nourish the leather, apply a colourless nourishing milk (silicone-free) in a thin layer: once a month for daily use, once a season for occasional use. Avoid direct heat and household cleaners; if the piece gets caught in the rain, let it air-dry, then nourish it.
Can the inlaid motifs wear off?+
No. Unlike a print or an appliqué, our motifs are inlaid into the thickness of the leather. They are an integral part of the piece and do not fade with use. Only the patina will deepen their relief over time.
What are the delivery times?+
In-stock pieces ship within 48 to 72 business hours. Delivery is free within mainland France for any order over €200. For a personalised piece (engraving, marking), allow 7 to 10 additional days for production.
Can I return or exchange my purchase?+
Yes, you have 14 days from receipt to return a non-personalised piece in its original condition. Exchanges and refunds are processed within 7 business days of the parcel arriving back at our atelier.
Do you offer a personalisation service?+
Yes. We carry out hot-stamping (gold, silver or natural) on most of our pieces, up to 8 characters. Personalisation costs 20 € and adds 7 to 10 days to the production time.
